Vivian’s face softened with something like pity. “You do what you’re best at. You survive. You play along. You don’t let him know you know. We need information.

We need to find out who that woman is, what their endgame is. If he thinks you’re still his… that you’re still in his bed and in his pocket, he’ll get careless. He’ll make a mistake.”

Katherine stared at the photo of the kiss. A white-hot pain, sharper than any betrayal she’d ever known, tore through her chest. It was real. The evidenc

  • The Return Of The Betrayed Bride    Miguel Favino Revenge Begins

    ABANDONED WAREHOUSE – EAST SIDE – 11:45 PMThe warehouse had no windows.The only light came from a single hanging bulb in the center of the room. It swung slightly from the draft coming under the door. The shadows it made were long and unsteady. The floor was concrete. Cold and stained and unforgiving.Rebecca Stein sat in the middle of it all.She was tied to a metal chair with her wrists bound behind her back and her ankles strapped to the legs. Her designer blazer was torn at the shoulder. One heel had snapped off her shoe. Her hair, always so perfectly styled for court, was hanging loose and damp around her face.She had been grabbed from the courthouse parking garage forty minutes ago.One second she was walking to her car with her briefcase in her hand. The next, a black hood was over her head and she was in the back of a vehicle moving fast through streets she couldn't see.Now she was here.She didn't know where here was.Three men stood around the edges of the room. Big

    Rebecca finally looked at her. Her expression was calm. Professional and completely unreadable."Trust me," she said. "I know what I'm doing."The guards came and stood on either side of her. She rose from the witness stand on unsteady legs and walked toward the side door.As they led her out, she passed close to the gallery. For just a second, she thought she saw a familiar face near the back. A man in dark glasses, sitting very still.She blinked.He was gone. Or maybe he had never been there.The door closed behind her."I'm going to get us out of here," she whispered. "I promise."OUTSIDE THE COURTHOUSE — 12:45 PMMiguel sat in a black car across the street. Lucas was in the driver's seat."Did she see you, boss?" Lucas asked.Miguel took off his sunglasses. "She said my name. In front of everyone."Lucas shook his head. "That's dangerous. If anyone finds out you're alive…"Miguel stared at the courthouse doors. "I had to see her. She's carrying my brother's child. She's fighti

  • The Return Of The Betrayed Bride    A Defense built on sand

    Rebecca sat beside Amelia at the defense table, flipping through papers. She leaned over and whispered, "Stay calm. Don't raise your voice. Let me handle it."Amelia nodded.Judge Morrison sat at the bench with his glasses low on his nose. He looked up when the room was completely silent."Mrs. Favino. You may take the stand."Amelia stood. Her legs felt like water. She walked to the witness stand and sat down. She folded her hands in her lap and pressed them together hard to keep them still.Mr. Harris rose from his chair. He buttoned his jacket and walked slowly toward her."Mrs. Favino," he said. "Let's talk about what happened to Marisa Favino."Amelia kept her voice steady. "I've already told the court everything I know.""Yes, you have." He nodded slowly. "You said you were at work. You said you received a phone call telling you your mother-in-law had collapsed. You said you had nothing to do with what happened to her.""That's the truth.""Is it?" He walked closer. "Because

    THE COURTROOM – NEW YORK CITY COURTHOUSE – COURTROOM 7 – 10:00 AMThe courtroom was packed. Reporters filled the back rows, whispering and typing on their phones. Cameras waited outside the doors. The air was thick with tension.Amelia sat at the defense table in a simple dark dress that Rebecca had brought her. She looked pale and tired. Her belly was clearly showing now. She kept her hands folded on the table to stop them from shaking. Rebecca Stein stood beside her, wearing a sharp black suit and looking confident.The judge, an older man named Judge Morrison with gray hair and cold eyes, banged his gavel."We are back in session for the case of the People versus Amelia Favino," he said. His voice was flat and unfriendly. "Miss Stein, you may continue your defense."Rebecca stood tall. "Thank you, Your Honor. Today we will show that my client is innocent. The evidence against her was planted. Witnesses were paid. And the real criminals are still walking free."The prosecutor,

    FAVINO PENTHOUSE – LIVING ROOM – 10:30 AMGabriella sat on the large white sofa wearing a silky robe. Her hair was pulled back in a loose bun. The morning light made the room look even more luxurious. On the coffee table in front of her sat a white envelope. The same envelope she had shown Alejandro earlier."More tea, ma'am?" Clara asked softly.Gabriella didn't look at her. "No. Just make sure the guest room is ready. My friend is almost here.""Yes, ma'am." Clara disappeared down the hallway.The doorbell rang a moment later.Gabriella's face broke into a real smile. She stood up and walked to the door herself. She didn't make the maid get it. This was a special guest.She opened the door, and there stood Sophia. Tall, tan, and wearing a flowing white dress and oversized sunglasses. Sofia pulled off her sunglasses and grinned. "Hola, chica. Did you miss me ? cuz I missed you so much Gabriella laughed and pulled her into a tight hug. "You have no idea. Get inside. Quick."Sofia

    She touched his chest right over his heart. “And now she’s trying to manipulate you by shutting you out. That’s what guilty people do. They run. They hide. They make you feel like the bad guy.”She looked deep into his eyes.“Don’t let her do that to you,” she whispered. “Don’t let her make you doubt what you already know in your heart. You deserve better than a liar and a poisoner.”Alejandro stared at her. His anger slowly turned into something colder..“You’re right,” he said quietly. “You’re absolutely right.”Gabriella let out a small, relieved breath and gently rubbed his arms. “Good. Now let me help you calm down before you hurt yourself.” She turned toward the hallway and called out, “Clara! Can you bring Alejandro his special tea, please? The calming one.”A few minutes later, Clara walked in carrying a tray with a steaming cup. She placed it on the counter without a word and quietly left the room.Gabriella picked up the cup and handed it to Alejandro. “Drink this. It alw
